its like a present from burger heaven, that just happens to be right across the block from my office for one project. needless to say, after a 7am meeting this morning, all i could think of was dmk. the burgers are reasonably priced, but extravagantly delish. i havent met a burger or fry combination there …

i signed up for my first race post-marathon! a 10 miler about a month after the marathon that starts at navy pier. one of my biggest fears is that after the big race, i will stop running and not adjust to burning so many calories every week, and that my puppy will go nuts without …

we went to a wedding a couple weekends ago in michigan, and they had cherry vodka for drinks. of course i was intrigued. i had somewhat blocked out fruit flavored vodkas after a few bad run ins with sprite and raspberry vodka in college. so 5 years later, why not give it a try again? …

in what has been a somewhat disappointing new music summer, thankfully mumford and sons has come through with a new album of great songs, not the onesie twosies that were on other albums i anxiously waited for all summer (thats you dispatch and dmb). i ❤ this new album, and can’t wait to jam it …

and we ran the other night almost 8.5 miles. the puppy came with me and he ran the whole way! sadly, he wasnt even phased – apparently, i have just gotten him in too good of shape. i am worried that come winter he will be super depressed about not getting out and running so …

you cross a flu shot, a change in the weather, and pure exhaustion from running – a sick girl and a lazy dog. after sleeping 10+ hours last night, i woke up to what i call the mini-flu, aches, runny nose, sore throat, stuffy eyes and still exhausted. most days, the job is pretty flexible …

so we have had a preview of fall this week, and today – i think it was a preview of winter. even though it reached the low 70s today, the wind was gusting well over 30mph. not to mention, our street is just a wind tunnel off the lake. i just had a feeling – …

so today was my first run after the 20 miles, and it just couldn’t have gone any better! even the pup had a personal best! today the weather changed quite a bit – had a big rainstorm, lows in the 40s and a high around 63, oh and lets not forget the wind! it is …
